Pre-Arrival Test
We ask all new students and International Teachers to complete our Pre-Arrival Test before they enrol. This helps us to determine your English level and assess your suitability for your chosen course. Please do not use a dictionary or ask anyone for help so we can have a clear idea of your level.
Pre-Course Questionnaire
We also ask all new students and International Teachers to complete our Pre-Course Questionnaire. This provides us with some background to your previous study/teaching experience and to find out a bit more about you.
